Kinsale’s favourite gastro-garden, where every day feels like the weekend.

 

Welcome to Hamlets – the heart of the social scene in Kinsale.

We believe great food shouldn't be formal, and great nights out shouldn't be hard to find. That’s why we’ve created a space that blends the soul of a traditional pub with the energy of a modern street-food market. Whether you’re joining us in our vibrant indoor bar or soaking up the atmosphere in our famous outdoor area, we’re all about high energy and even higher standards.

​

An Award-Winning Experience

We don't just talk about great food, we deliver it. Hamlets is proud to be a highly acclaimed venue, notably winning Best Gastro Pub in Cork at the Irish Restaurant Awards 2024. Our commitment to excellence continues, with nominations for Best Gastro Pub and Best Casual Dining in the 2025 Irish Restaurant Awards.

​

The Ultimate Match Day Experience

Looking for the big game? Hamlets was a proud finalist in the Bar of the Year Awards for "The Best Place to Watch the Match." With massive screens, a stadium-like atmosphere, and a perfectly poured pint, there is no better place in Co. Cork to cheer on your team.
